Scene: 2009 LA Auto Show; Los Angeles, CA

While we saw most of 2010's new releases at the Tokyo Motor Show, the big Japanese automakers saved a few goodies for us in our hometown of Los Angeles. We still saw no shame in getting next to the LF-A for a close-up look of the car's inner workings, grabbing Perrier bubbly and acting like we're important at the Euro press conferences and staring at the wonders that are the booth models, standing tall and proud in all their 6' and above glory. At least for Charles, they were a sight to behold.
